We stopped in at the second Lagoon on the way up the beach for the kids to stretch their legs. The lagoon was definitely not as crowded as we remembered from last trip.
We headed up the beach and the wind seemed to get stronger and stronger as we headed up to the north end. The sand was at times whipping across the beach. I’m still not sure whether the north end is less protected than the south or whether it was just the time of day, because when we returned to the Southern end later, the wind was a gentle breeze.
The turn around point for vehicles is now on the southern side of the forts. We were expecting to see more damage at the forts due to the weather events earlier in the year, but aside from a bit more erosion around the footings, they seemed much like they did in previous trips. The wind was pretty strong, so we didn’t stay long.
We headed back down to the third lagoon (or was it the second?) and while a bit cool, the sight of crabs in the lagoon discouraged the kids from going for a swim. We were however treated to a double rainbow.
I’m sure our club photographers would have appreciated the golden sunset glow.
We decided that instead of the beach sausage sizzle, we’d get out of the wind and headed to Ben and Mariana’s holiday house at Woorim for a BBQ in comfort under cover in their backyard. We left the beach just as it was getting dark.
A big thank you to Ben and Mariana - not just for organising the trip, but also hosting the BBQ.
A very pleasant afternoon and evening!
